Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity/mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis is the key to improve CVD prognosis, and cardiovascular imaging plays a crucial role in this direction. Echocardiography is the most commonly used imaging modality. However, the need for early diagnosis/treatment favors the development of modalities providing information about tissue characterization beyond echocardiography. In this context, the rapid evolution of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) led to the coexistence of cardiologists and radiologists in the CMR field. Our aim was to provide an overview of indications, sequences, and reporting of CMR findings in various CVDs. The indications/limitations of CMR as well as the pathophysiological significance of various sequences in adult/pediatric CVDs are presented and discussed in detail. The role of CMR indices in the evaluation of the most common clinical scenarios in cardiology and their impact on CVD diagnosis/prognosis were analyzed in detail. Additionally, the comparison of CMR versus other imaging modalities is also discussed. Finally, future research directions are presented. CMR can provide cardiac tissue characterization and biventricular/biatrial functional assessment in the same examination, allowing for early and accurate identification of important subclinical abnormalities, before clinically overt CVD takes place.
